Unable to start apache in plesk

If you are unable to start apache in linux plesk server, and if you are getting the following error in error logs;

Unable to open logs.

Try executing the command:

echo $ulimit

If it is blank or a low value, try executing the command:

ulimit -n 65536

This should fix the issue.

# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -a -v
